PGWP inquiry
- Thread starter Alpesh2410
- Start date
Students beginning in May 2024 intakes at PPPs should be fine and will be eligible for PPPs. Just make sure if she wants to take a second program later, it is at non-PPP.
Since his daughter is starting in the May intake, even at a PPP, she will be eligible for a PGWP once she graduates.
Can you send proof to that. Last announcement posted on Canada Website restrict PGWP from PPP. Unless I am missing something
3. PGWP eligibility for public-private partnership college programs
Some provinces allow public colleges to license their curriculum to be delivered by an affiliated private college. In these cases, students physically attend a private college, but graduate with a diploma from a public institution. Concerns have been raised with regard to the quality of education provided by these institutions, as well as the lack of sufficient student supports. The Auditor General of Ontario has also raised concerns about a lack of oversight into program quality and student services at these institutions.
As such, IRCC has made a change to restrict PGWPs for these institutions, anticipating that without the ability to apply for a PGWP, there will be a reduction in the number of international students enrolling in them.
This was the extension of the previous announcement on the 22nd of January, where for programs "Starting September 1, 2024, international students who begin a study program that is part of a curriculum licensing arrangement will no longer be eligible for a postgraduation work permit upon graduation".
So student has the visa already and is starting their programs in May/Spring 2024 intake, so will not be impacted by the change. All programs at PPPs that begin starting Fall 2024 intake will no longer be PGWP eligible, which is correct.
I Totally get what you mean, In my opinion i think this is still grey area and IRCC needs to provide more clarity. I think yesterdays announcement clarify points from JAN 24 Announcement. While previous announcement indicate Students enrolling effective from Sept 1 are not eligible but one can argue those enrolled before Sep 1 are eligible, that is May intake that usually not popular/regular intake. However Current Announcement clarifies without mentioning any dates, as in general PPP are not eligible.
